the Remainder of the Week--The
Raglan Lectures.-N NJ ISIS Eta Hawk
ms ian Washington.
The amusement business has been in an
abeyanu condition during the past week. prob
able in anticipation of the coming Of the great
Bernhardt during the present week. Hatcher,
Primrose and Vests Ministries did good
business during the first half of the week at
the Grand, while Louise Rial did business
not at all commensurate with the merit of her
performance during the last half.
BRRNHARDT's ENGAGEMENT.
One of the greatest dramatic, as well as So
ciety, events of the season will be the engage
ment of Mme Sara Bernhard, which includes
Monday and Tuesday nights. This will be the
first and probable the last visit of this emf
nent actress to the Northwest. 1t is needless
to say anything of one SO famous
in her profession as Nine. Bernhardt.
When Booth and Barrett and Robson
and actors of their repute all unite in the
verdict that Bernhard is the greatest actress
of the age, it is useless for non-professionals
to doubt the correctness of the verdict. At
all events her coming to ST. Paul will draw
the most distinguished audience known in
the history of the city, not excepting the
audiences which greeted Booth and Barrett
earlier in the season. Nine. Bernhard
will play Fedora Monday night and
'Camille" Tuesday night. The prices will
be So for all seats on the lower floor, 81. so to
So for first balcony seats and ST. for gallery.

The Indian opera "Manitou,' by Adolf
Grethen, successfully given for the first time
at Minneapolis about two weeks ago, will be
performed Wednesday evening at the Grand
by the same company that so successfully
gave the pirates" here some time ago. The
war dance of the braves and squaws is a
striking feature, one of the most unique per-
formances on the modern operate stage.
Adolph Grethen. the composer, was born in
West st. Paul twenty-three years ago. He is
nephew of Conrad Zenzius, who held
high position as musical director of the st.
Paul Musical society.
